Introduction of Performance
And Potential Appraisal
Appraisal is the evaluation of worker, quality or
merit. In the organizational context, performance appraisal is a systematic
evaluation of personnel by superiors or others familiar with their performance.
Performance appraisal is also described as merit rating in which one individual
is marked as better or worse in comparison to others. The basic purpose of
merit rating is to ascertain an employee’s eligibility for promotion. However
performance appraisal would be used to decide training and development, salary
increase, transfer and discharge C. Heyel defines, “performance appraisal is
the process of evaluating the performance and qualifications of the employee in
terms of the requirements of the job for which he is employed, for the purposes
of administration including placement, selection for promotion, providing
financial rewards and other actions which require differential treatment among
the members of a group as distinguished from actions affecting all members
equally”. Beach has defined, “performance appraisal is the systematic
evaluation of the individual with regard to his or her performance on the job
and his potential for development.
Performance appraisal is a
systematic and objective way of judging the relative worth or ability of an
employee in performing his job. It emphasizes on two aspects; systematic and
objective. All performances are to be evaluated in the same manner, utilizing
the same approaches. This would facilitate appraisal of different persons
comparable. This makes it systematic, as such an appraisal is taken
periodically according to plan; it is not left to chance. This makes the system
objective. Both those who rate and who are rated should know the system of
performance appraisal and trained. Human bias and prejudices are set aside, and
so objective is in this respect also.
